 How did I live without it? January 7, 2008
About the most wonderful new baking aid I've found in the last 15 years! NOTHING sticks. Great for making candy and cookies and anything else. I even warmed up pizza on it and no mess cleanup! They wipe clean in 2 seconds. I bought two for Christmas baking so I slide one off the baking sheet hot out of the oven right onto the cooling rack while the cookies are still too soft to lift and while they are cooling I can load the other up on the warm cookie sheet for the next cycle of baking. I had my doubts but now I'm a believer!
 Holy Smokes! January 6, 2008

I bought this supposedly handy baking sheet about a year ago, but used it for the first time today when I ran out of aluminum foil. I popped it in the preheated 425F oven with some leftover pizza for 8 minutes. After about 2 minutes it started smoking and set off our smoke alarm. At first I thought this was due to some poor oven cleaning, but the smoke started pluming quite abundantly after another 2 minutes, clearly emanating in all directions from the baking sheet. Obviously I'm not the only one to have this problem, but it does seem I got a defective and that this is not par for the course. I just hope I don't get sick from inhaling whatever that stuff was.
 Serves its purpose, but not worth it December 30, 2007

Unless you make a whole lot of toffee, parmesan crisps, etc., this is probably a waste of your money. I rarely use mine and find that it's annoying to wash (won't stand up in the dishwasher) and store (sticks to everything). When used for a liquid (like toffee), little bits stick in the tiny screen-like surface, and they are very difficult to remove. What's worse, once stuck in there, that area is no longer non-stick. For cookies I strongly prefer parchment paper. For the other things, you're probably better off with the release foil.
Maybe I got TWO defective mats??? December 26, 2007

I am certain that this is the mat that I bought through Amazon less than 3 months ago, right before Thanksgiving and the big baking rush. I purchased two of them "Exopat Matfer" Made in France A09 - printed on each....I just want to be sure before I complain about them because my experience with these two mats was entirely different than the rave reviews I read here.
I have a gas oven and did not do any extraordinary cooking or anything that should have distressed these mats and yet BOTH mats, after the third use, developed a white chalky texture in an area near and on the white border around each mat. One of the mats actually has a hole in it at the distressed point, the other mat would have a hole if ever used again.
I can not recommend these mats and am truly disappointed. It is probably a fluke but since I can't be sure and the time limit to return is expired I will move on and get something else.
Let me just say, though, after dozens, if not a hundred, purchases on Amazon, this is really the only truly disappointing item I've ever gotten.... not bad odds.
Cheers.
Magic? December 26, 2007
Okay, so it isn't magic. It is a loose-weave, fiberglass mat encased in silicone. But it might as well be. I use this every time I make cookies, instead of parchment (which I thought was great when I first discovered it). I use it for crab cakes too.
Absolutely fantastic for anything that is delicate, sticky, and is baked. I'd buy another one, except the one I have is over a year old and shows no sign of wear.
Highly recommended!
